vasl ki arz kaa jab vaqt kabhi paataa huun — Abroo Shah Mubarak

jaltaa hai ab talak tiri zulfon ke rashk se
har-chand ho gayaa hai chaman kaa charaagh gul

gham siin ahl-e-bait ke ji to tiraa kuDhtaa nahin
yuun abas paDhtaa phiraa jo marsiya to kyaa huaa

kyaa sabab tere badan ke garm hone kaa sajan
aashiqon mein kaun jaltaa thaa gale kis ke lagaa

yuun 'aabru' banaave dil mein hazaar baatein
jab ru-ba-ru ho tere guftaar bhuul jaave

namkin goyaa kabaab hain phike sharaab ke
bosaa hai tujh labaan kaa maze-daar chaTpaTaa

afsos hai ki bakht hamaaraa ulaT gayaa
aataa to thaa pe dekh ke ham kuun palaT gayaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

ab to chup-chaap shaam aati hai
pahle chiDiyon ke shor hote the

main boltaa huun to ilzaam hai baghaavat kaa
main chup rahun to baDi bebasi si hoti hai

baarish hui to ghar ke dariche se lag ke ham
chup-chaap sogvaar tumhein sochte rahe

taariki mein lipTi hui pur-haul khamoshi
is aalam mein kyaa nahin mumkin jaagte rahnaa

bachpan se len-den thaa us ki sarisht mein
baaton mein kaarobaar se aage na jaa sakaa
